Okay, so you have a strong opinion in a field that you are opposed to. I think that can pretty soundly be discounted by anyone who cares about this industry.

- wtbob 12y agoI care deeply about the Internet, and about the web, and I think that the widespread prevalence of JavaScript-only sites is a plague. Users should not be forced to execute code in order to read text. In a way, JavaScript is equivalent to DRM: it's an unnecessary hoop.
- Tehnix 12y ago>Users should not be forced to execute code in order to read text. Yes, because who on earth would like interactivity on their site? Can you imagine it! Not having to reload the entire page on every little interaction! Blasphemy!.... /s
- wtbob 12y agoWho on earth would want the subjective experience of reading a page to subject him to executing untrusted code, potentially compromising his privacy and security? I'd love it if all browsers had an 'Enable code' button or somesuch which had to be manually clicked for every page which used JavaScript. And not remembered. That'd go a long way to ensuring that JavaScript were only used where necessary. (for that matter, books have managed to be quite remarkable for centuries, with absolutely no interactivity)
